💭 Consider this: How have you experienced God’s process of sanctification in your life? In what ways have you become more Christ-like?
TRANSCRIPT
Our text for tonight's message is taken from Exodus 30:17-21.
In our previous message, we have learned about the payment of a ransom prize, which was a wonderful picture of our salvation. As far as our salvation from the penalty of sin is concerned, as far as our salvation from being delivered from eternal death to eternal life is concerned, as true believers, we are saved. We have been ransomed, redeemed, rescued and born again spiritually because of the grace and mercy we have received through Jesus Christ.
But as long as we are alive in this world, living in this mortal body known as the flesh, we are still troubled by sin. We are not perfect. We are not 100% pure. Therefore, on a daily basis, we are commanded to be holy as God is holy. We need to be cleansed. We need to be sanctified and that is our practical purity. Ultimately, one day we will be perfectly pure. We will be glorified. That is the day when we see our Lord Jesus face to face.
As 1 John 3:2 says: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God”-we are the sons of God–“and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
The one important lesson we want to learn from this passage in Exodus 30:17-21 is about sanctification. So, the title of our message is: “The Importance of Sanctification”
Firstly, we want to understand what this passage meant to the priests who were preparing themselves to serve and worship the Lord in the tabernacle. Secondly, we want to learn what this passage means to us and how it can be applied into our lives.
I. What It Meant To Them
Beginning with Exodus 30:17: "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein” (Exodus 30:17-18).
This laver of brass or basin of brass was the last piece of furniture for the tabernacle. It was located in the courtyard, between the doorway leading into the tabernacle and the altar of sacrifice. Like everything else in the courtyard, it was made of brass or bronze. We do not know for sure what size or shape it was. Most likely, it was round and large enough to hold sufficient water for the priest to wash themselves.
There were two parts in this laver of brass: there was the basin itself and the stand on which the basin was sitting upon, and then it was filled with water. The location of this brass basin was very vital and crucial, because before the priest could enter into the tabernacle to perform his sacred duties, he had to first stop by it to wash himself. He had to wash his hands and feet.
Some families, households or parents would only allow their children to come inside the house and sit at the table when they have cleaned themselves — meaning to say they have washed their hands and their feet. It is considered disrespectful to sit at the table without first cleaning oneself. But in the spiritual realm, washing is more than just a matter of respect.
When the priests entered into the tabernacle, they were coming to serve and worship the one living and true God. Remember, the priests had already received the atonement for their sins through the sin offering at the altar of sacrifice. So why did the priests still need to wash their hands and feet if they had already received the atonement for their sins? The answer is simply because they needed to be cleansed. They needed to be sanctified—to be pure and holy for their service to God.
Perhaps the layout of the tabernacle will help to give us a better understanding. The first thing the priest encountered when they entered into the courtyard was the altar of sacrifice. The altar was symbolic of their justification. They needed to have their sins forgiven before anything else. On the basis of the blood of the animal which was sacrificed, their sins were atoned for. They were covered with the blood. In a sense you can imagine the picture. They were bloodied because of all the blood sacrifices they had offered.
Then, as the priest moved from the altar of sacrifice toward the tabernacle itself, the next thing they encountered was the brass basin. Since they were covered with the blood, it was only right for them to go through some kind of ceremonial purification. This ceremonial purification was done at the brass basin.
Though their sins had been atoned for, they were still sinners. In order to cleanse themselves from the corruption of the ongoing sins in their lives, they had to wash their hands and feet. This ceremonial cleansing was symbolic of their sanctification—their progress to holiness. Even the priests, as holy as they were, had to be sanctified before they could enter the holy place and serve a holy God.
As verse 19 tells us: "For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat."
Verse 20: "When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the Lord."
Finally, verse 21: "So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations."
So, it was something to be done continuously throughout their generations. As the priests entered into the courtyard, by faith, they believed that their sins were forgiven through the blood of the sacrificial animal. That was their justification. By faith, they believed they had to constantly wash their hands and feet because they were not perfect—there were ongoing sins in their lives. That was their sanctification. This process was so serious that it was a matter of life and death. If they did not do that, they would die.
In other words, it was a picture of their salvation. This was the only way they could approach a holy and righteous God. First, they had to be justified. Then, they had to be sanctified.
Dear friend, take a moment and consider our lives. Isn't this also a picture of your salvation and my salvation? First and foremost, before anything else, we need to be saved. We need to be justified. We need to hear the gospel and be convicted of our sins, to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and receive the only salvation which God provides through His only begotten Son.
But our salvation does not stop at our justification. After that, we need to be constantly sanctified.
II. What It Means To Us
This brings us to our second point: ‘What it means to us’.
As believers, the moment we come to God through faith in Jesus Christ, we receive the full forgiveness of our sins through His death and the shedding of His precious blood. Like the priests, you and I are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. But it does not mean that we are perfectly pure and holy.
Each day as we continue to live in this sin-filled world, wicked world, immoral world; living in this mortal body, we are still being tempted and overwhelmed by sin. Therefore, we need constant cleansing from the corruption of sins.
There are some people who think that once they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they will not have to deal with sin anymore. As far as our salvation from the penalty of sin and eternal death is concerned, that is true. God has forgiven us once and for all in Christ. But you and I still have to face the reality of sin, which “doth so easily beset us”, as Hebrews 12:1 reminds us.
That is why we are always struggling with sins—whether it be jealousy, envy, pride, bitterness, hatred, anger, immorality and so forth. As believers, we are saved for the glory of God. Like the priest, we are called a royal priesthood. And how can we obey the command to be holy as God is holy? How can we be pure to serve a perfect God unless we constantly sanctify ourselves?
If I may explain it this way: as true believers, positionally, we are justified. We are made pure. At the point of our salvation, we are saved by the blood of Christ, we are imputed or clothed with His righteousness. And His righteousness has to do with His purity. So we are imputed with His purity. Positionally, we are made pure; we are justified.
But practically, we need to be sanctified. Because, as long as we are alive in this world, we are not perfect. We are not 100% pure. We are still troubled by sin. Therefore, on a daily basis we need to be holy as God is holy. We need to be cleansed. We need to be sanctified, and that is our practical purity.
In the New Testament, there was this classic example of our Lord Jesus washing His disciples' feet in John 13:1. I believe you are familiar with this passage. Maybe you can turn with me to this passage.
After Judas Iscariot had gone out to betray Him, Jesus took a towel and a basin of water and He began to wash His disciples’ feet. At that point, Peter refused to be washed by Him because, after all, He was their Master. And in those days, it was the servants and not the Master who washed the feet.
Look at Verse 8: “Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me." Jesus was referring to His justification. If I do not cleanse you or wash you or make you pure through My precious blood, you will not be saved.
Verse 9: “Simon Peter saith unto him” - If that is the case – “Lord, not only my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
Verse 10: “Jesus saith to him, He that is washed" - which means he that is justified, positionally purified — "needeth not save to wash his feet" - which means he need not be justified all over again, but he just needs to be sanctified. "but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all."
And we know who Jesus was referring to—Judas Iscariot—because he had not experienced justification. He was not saved.
Verse 11: "For He knew who should betray Him; therefore said He, Ye are not all clean”.
The word "clean" is the same word as "pure". As we have learned in our previous messages, when the people walked around the Palestinian region they wore sandals, and the ground was very sandy and dusty. So as they walked around, their feet would be dirty. They might have already washed themselves thoroughly, but the moment they walked out of the house to a neighbour's house, their feet would be dirty and dusty. That was why foot washing was something very common in those days. They did not need to wash the whole body again. They only needed to wash the feet.
So using that analogy, Jesus was teaching His disciples: ‘You have all been cleansed by me except Judas Iscariot. You have been justified. You have been saved. You have been made pure. But as you live your lives in this sin-polluted world, it is inevitable that you will fall into sin, like the way your feet will be dirty and dusty.’
What you need is not justification but sanctification. You need to be cleansed. You need to be sanctified on a daily basis. That is where we get the theological terms: justification, sanctification and glorification. Or sometimes known as positional purity, practical purity and ultimate purity.
As believers we have been justified. We have been made pure by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. But every day of our lives, we are still being tormented by the ongoing sins that so easily beset us. We need to be sanctified. And ultimately, we will be glorified—that is our ultimate purity.
One day, we will be perfectly pure. That is the day when our Lord Jesus comes for us in the clouds, whether by way of death or by the rapture. Our souls will be united with our bodies in a glorified state. What a blessed hope.
For the priests, the altar of sacrifice was a symbol of their justification, and the brass basin was a symbol of their sanctification. For us, on this side of the cross, the ultimate Lamb of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, had already come. So, the cross of Calvary is the basis of our justification. It was only through His death and the shedding of His precious blood that you and I are justified.
But what about the brass basin? What is the thing that can sanctify us? It is the Word of God. As Ephesians 5:26 says: "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." There, the Apostle Paul was speaking about the Church, the body of believers, which means God will sanctify and cleanse the believers by His Word.
Dear friend, our Almighty God has given to us His Word and His Spirit that we may apply His wisdom, which is pure. When we study the Bible and apply God’s Word into our lives, the Spirit of God will cleanse us, sanctify us and make us pure.
Many years ago, I read this story about a Sunday school teacher who wanted to teach his students about sanctification. There was a wastepaper basket in the classroom, like the one that has many holes in it. The teacher asked the students to fill the wastepaper basket with water and they did, but the water flowed out. He repeatedly asked them to do that until one of the students got frustrated and said, ‘But all the water flowed out through the holes!’
Then the teacher said to him, ‘Look into the basket now. Is it much cleaner?'
Using that illustration, the teacher taught the students: When the Word of God flows in and through our lives, it will cleanse us. That is the sanctifying power of God’s Word.
Likewise, when you and I apply the Word of God into our lives—our thoughts, our words, our actions, the decisions we make, the way we respond to the challenges and issues of life—we will be sanctified and God’s wisdom through His Word will keep us pure.
But we must bear in mind that reading the Bible alone cannot save a man, nor can it transform a man. It is the Holy Spirit who takes the Word of God to convict our hearts and enable us to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. It is the Holy Spirit who takes the Word of God to sanctify us and transform us to be more and more like Jesus Christ.
It is the Holy Spirit who brings conviction, conversion, transformation, sanctification, illumination and empowerment. And the Holy Spirit will not work independently without the Word of God. We need these two vital things in our lives in our salvation—the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
Remember, in Matthew 16:13, Jesus asked His disciples: "Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am?"
They replied that some thought He was John the Baptist. Others thought He was one of the prophets—perhaps Elijah or Jeremiah.
Then in Verse 15, Jesus asked: "But whom say ye that I am?" Which means - never mind what others think about who I am. ‘Who do you think I am?’
Peter answered with a powerful statement: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." (Verse 16)
And Jesus said to Peter: "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven" (Verse 17).
In other words, Jesus was saying: ‘Peter, you have experienced something that is not common to all men. You have learned what you have learned not by some natural, physical means or some human intellectual understanding. My father himself showed you this truth through the Holy Spirit.’
God opened his spiritual eyes and he was illuminated.
Do you remember the Gospel of Luke 24? There were two disciples travelling with the resurrected Jesus Christ on the road to Emmaus, but they did not recognise Him. The disciples could not understand the significance of Christ's death, burial and resurrection until their spiritual eyes were opened.
Jesus taught them, beginning at Moses and all the prophets. He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. And after He left them, they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" (Luke 24:32) There was an amazing description of how God speaks to us through the Spirit when we read His Word. "Did not our hearts burn within us?"
Whenever we spend time reading the Bible, we must not read the Bible like an ordinary book, because this is not an ordinary book. This is the Word of God. We must not read the Bible based on our own human intellectual understanding or how well we can grasp spiritual things by some natural, physical means. No, we must rely on the Spirit of God to open up our spiritual eyes, illumine our minds, and convict our hearts so that we may understand spiritual things. And then empower us to apply those spiritual things into our lives.
The more we are exposed to the Word of God, the more we allow the Spirit of God to use the Word of God to illumine our minds and convict our hearts. The more we yield ourselves in obedience, the more we will produce the fruit of the Spirit. And you and I will then develop godly qualities. Our lives will be sanctified.
We will understand what we ought to do and what we ought not to do. How we ought to serve and worship God, how we ought to function as a church, how we ought to serve as a family, how we ought to behave as believers, and how we can glorify His precious name.
So this image of the priest entering into the courtyard and encountering the altar of sacrifice, and through the sin offering they were justified. And then, as they moved toward the tabernacle to serve and worship the Almighty God, they were confronted by the brass basin where they washed their hands and feet.
It is a wonderful picture of our salvation. By faith, we are justified by believing in the salvific work of Jesus Christ. He was crucified on the cross. He shed His precious blood. He died and He was buried. But He rose again from the dead on the third day. We read those words in the bible, and through the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, you and I were saved.
And once we were saved, we are saved forever. We will never lose our salvation. Jesus himself said, "No man can pluck you out of my hand." We do not need to be justified all over again or to be saved all over again, but we do need to be sanctified. And God has given to us His word, the Bible. And through the wonder-working of his Spirit, He will cleanse us, wash us, and purify us from all the sins that so easily beset us.
Dear friend, the question we need to ask ourselves is this: ‘Do we see the evidence of the sanctifying work of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit? Do we see the beauty of God's word? Do we see this diligent study of His word, this obedience and application of His word, this manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives? If not, something is terribly wrong.’ This is about our sanctification.
Our salvation does not stop at just being justified, just being saved, and safe to go to heaven. If that’s the case, God would have taken every believer the moment he saved them - at the point of their conversion He would have taken them to heaven. But He allows them to continue to live on this earth and work in their lives through His word, through the indwelling Holy Spirit, to cleanse them, sanctify them, and purify them for His glory.
So, like the priest who continued to wash their hands and feet, we will continue to be sanctified by His word. You and I will continue to read, study diligently the bible, obey, and apply His truth into our lives. Until ultimately, one day, we will be glorified. That will be the time we no longer need to be cleansed. Because sin, Satan and the world will not be able to trouble us anymore. We will be perfect, we will be glorified and we will forever be in the presence of the Almighty God.
Until that day, we need to constantly be sanctified. Will you do that? May the Lord help us. Let us pray.
Our Father in heaven, indeed, we need thy word at every moment of our lives. Even as we consider our salvation, without the hearing of the word, how can we be saved? And how can we be saved, but unless the Spirit of God will convict our hearts and save our souls, that was how we were saved.
But our salvation does not stop at our justification. As we continue to live our days on this earth, whether it be years, months, or days, we continue to be sanctified. We need to be cleansed, to be purified from the ongoing sins that so easily beset us, so easily trouble us. Oh Lord, how can we be holy as thou art holy? How can we be pure to serve a perfect God unless we constantly sanctify ourselves through thy precious word and through the working of thy Spirit?
So as we read thy word as committed students of thy precious word, may the Spirit of God open our eyes so that all of us will be able to say, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us as we read the Holy Scriptures?’ And we know this can only be done through the working of thy Spirit. It is a supernatural, spiritual work wrought by the Spirit of God.
Help us that we will read thy word and by thy grace and mercy, the Spirit of God will open our spiritual eyes, teach us spiritual thingnd empower us to live the life according to thy design, all to the glory of thy precious name. This is the importance of sanctification.
We pray all this in Jesus' name. Amen.
